Hey ClashTalkers Hey! There was a great article over the weekend about the LA/Mexican connection to Morrissey , and it started my thinking of how much I loved Morrissey as a kid. It seemed weird at the time, but looking back at KROQ (shout out to LA), it all makes sense now.

Concrete Blonde’s “Joey” (which was apparently written in minutes?!?!) makes me leap for my phone and press the back button frantically (in other words, I love this song and could listen to it forever).

It’s been a hellish few weeks for me (all of my fellow academicians can attest to the pain that is working feverishly on a paper the week before you’ve got to submit it). I’m exhausted, ordering pizza and trying this new Guinness IPA, and tucking in to Pitch Perfect 2 (if any of you have seen it, no spoilers!).
